So writing a JavaScript drag-and-drop widget framework counts as complicated?

Whenever I see lists like this, I think: - why doesn't it read "list of good programming books"? (the more the merrier, but how about quality?) - how can such a huge list help anyone? Certainly no-one will read a significant percentage of

This makes me think about an interesting attack vector ;-) If you want to silence emails in email provider Y about subject X, you send email to many accounts of Y about X. Then you have the accounts report the messages as spam. Now every em

He's missing scriptability, modularity and extensibility. Also, most GUIs (that programmers care about) lag behind the CLI in features (i.e. command-line GDB vs graphical debuggers).

I got ~12K, but I highly doubt the accuracy... I suspect that I know ~1K words, maybe 2K. I remember hearing that people usually use around 100 or 200 distinct words/day. According to http://math.ucdenver.edu/~wbriggs/qr/shakespeare.html ,

I've played very little with GO, and it seems to be a nice language overall. Anyway, it's designed to allow easy parallelism. It's a system's language for parallel work. The only thing that I don't like about it is that the built-in types g

There seems to be a PhD thesis behind, so you should check it for the grammar.

Here is the problem: PayPal was born in the US. Among other things, probably because it was easier for them to do business there. PayPal couldn't have been concieved in Europe.

He does not use a JIT, he translated his code into C by hand.

I somewhat agree. I have a stronger postulate: current proof assistants are worse for writing proofs than machine language. There is a reason not to panic: it can only get better, not worse...

I do not think it's a matter of connection speed. This way of "browsing" is not "browsing" -- you're just getting what you want. It's really about efficiency (in the sense of not wasting your time).

It was known at the time that correlation is not causation. That is a classic example of taking dietary advice from the incompetent.

You listen to science and not to crackpots who pretend to do science. Note that most advice regarding nutrition appearing in newspapers/blogs is total crap (as opposed to science). If you can't distinguish science from crap (or can't be bot

Ok, so Prolog is nice. We know that already. But the story lacks any real content... It's really just: we used Prolog, it seemed to be a lot faster to code and the customer was happy.

This study is broken in multiple ways, so you should not take it seriously. Why can't people (= medical "researchers") learn their statistics?

When people say "get hit by the bus" in this context, it means "decide you don't wanna work here anymore and leave".

Actually the problem is too much privacy. University staff have access to your email without any problem if you store it on their system. However, on Google's system, they can't access it at all. They probably don't like this very much.

Funny, I thought that the technologies he (clearly) enjoys (and appreciates) today were built by people who were thinking along the lines of: oh shit, it takes 30 years to walk to California, why couldn't we just fly there? It's ok to appre

Negative; you should look up literate programming ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming ). Basically you compile the lhs into a pdf before reading it ;-)

It's not that they are more protected; market economy simply works that way: MS/Apple/Google/Facebook/etc are competing for employers, the best way to get good ones is from good interns.

What's wrong with every software ever written having a Wikipedia page if someone cares enough to make one?
